From Williamson’s knowledge-first perspective, we are cognitively homeless, and our mental/cognitive states are not luminous. I argue that, in feeling that one understands a logical or mathematical proof, the state of understanding is luminous in that it evinces semantic qualia. I provide three examples: one pedagogical example (teaching natural deduction using arbitrary objects), one example concerning understanding an entire subject-matter (the preeminence of Euclidean geometry), and one example regarding the understanding of specific logical results (how modal frame incompleteness can be represented from the standpoint of second-order logic).
